It's raining!

Hi Odd Ball party-goers!

You've probably noticed it's raining. Please keep in mind that our line-up outside is, unfortunately not covered. We're going to do our best to accommodate everyone, but please dress for the weather and bring an umbrella. YouthCo are operating our coat cheque by donation and, as always, we'll be handing out treats to you while we wait in line.

Also, we're very excited that there will finally be a satellite bar inside the hall this time! That means less crowded lines for the one bar. Keep your eyes peeled for the WISE Hall satellite bar in addition to the regular bar.

See you tonight! Keep dry, be safe and have fun!

xo Amber Dawn, Brie, Michael and Zena

Ruggedly Handsome is back again!

The only DJ other than Titz McGee to have played music and made you dance at EVERY Odd Ball, DJ Ruggedly Handsome is back to send the Odd Ball off in style. She's a lover of good songs with an affinity for girl bands, think The Slits not the Spice Girls. On occasion she has been known to take her musical cues from her feline companion. This Scorpio is very in touch with her feelings and has been bringing the dance party to your living rooms, bedrooms, libraries, lezzie bars, basements, and community centers since 2004.

Get ready for some hair-raising tunes!

Titz McGee is back for her final Odd Ball! Without a doubt she'll get your zombie feet shufflin' around the dance floor with some ghoulishly ghastful, bloodcurdling sounds.

Don't forget the costume contest!

Mickey Moniker, back for a second ghoulish year!

Mickey Moniker mostly grew up absorbing American television, back when MTV showed music videos and "New Wave" was still almost "New". He's been DJ'ing in Vancouver for several years now under an assortment of names, specializing in underexposed and forgotten musical nuggets over the "Will & Grace" and Top40 fare.

Mickey can now be heard spinning an assortment of spacedisco/new wave/italo/electro at 1181's weekly Roboteria nights and at Audio Teabag at DVC. He also spins for the bears & cubs at events like GRIP & Bear Bounce, along with various local fetish nights. You may even remember him from Uncanny nights at Lick, or last year's Halloween edition of the Odd Ball. His favourite Halloween candy is peanut butter cups... left overnight in the fridge.

Isolde N. Barron strikes again . . .

From Classic Diva to Sea Witch, Isolde N. Barron has both charmed and shocked many Vancouver stages, including For the Girls, Bent, Odd Ball from the Crypt, Uncanny and High School Confidential. Get ready for another eye-popping, jaw-dropping (and perhaps even slightly stomach-turning) number from Isolde N. Barron and her creepy company.

Taiko with a Dangerous Twist ...

Odd Ballers have loved the live vocal stylings of Crystal Precious and Ryan Hinds - now get ready for the first live taiko drumming at Die Odd Ball Die. Our first stage performance of the (fright) night features taiko with a spooky, sexy twist: T and Elaine Miller.

An internationally recognized teacher, performer and master taiko drummer, T has been doing taiko performances in Vancouver for the past 3 years. Elaine Miller is a performer known for laying down some serious beats. Together they're a spooky duo doing the rhythm method.

DKUnited and Odd Ball reunited!

Remember the Ambiguously Gay Duo number at Pride Odd Ball? The cuties from DKU are returning to bid Odd Ball a boi-tastic goodbye.

From the DKUnited crew, drag kings Majik and Edward Malaprop will be bringing their talents to the Oddball stage this Halloween. Majik is a hip-hop dancer, choreographer extrordinaire and culinary enthusiast. Edward is a professional nerd currently focusing on a fine arts minor. They both worked on the International Drag KingCommunity Extravaganza (IDKE) Vancouver in 2007 and are board members of its organizing body, the Bent Umbrella Queer Performing Arts Society (bentumbrella.blogspot.com).

Va Va returns!

She thrilled us last Halloween with her giant, knife-wielding doll number. The mistress of props, the goddess of costumes, and the queen of va-voom, the one the only Va Va Vunderbust is back again for Die Odd Ball Die.

Special Guest DJ

Beth Allen also known around Vancouver as DJ/MC Buzy B, has been rocking out for 5 years. She started collecting records before she had a record player and loves to get lost in record stores digging threw the dollar record section. Her passion for all types of music can be heard in her sets as she might drop an old school rock tune or maybe some jazz. Her focus lies in Hip Hop, Soul and R&B. She's DJ at The People's Prom, Sistahood Celebration, and is a feature DJ at Toby's Pub.

Odd Ball update!
